Getting To Know You: The Tomato Nation Demographic Dance Party
Hello, friends, and welcome to The Tomato Nation Demographic Dance Party, in which 1) you tell me a little bit about yourselves, 2) I give away a few iPod Nanos, and 3) in the interests of everyone’s safety, I supportively applaud your dance stylings but stay quietly in my chair.
Why should you fill out the questionnaire? Well, I have an anecdotal idea about you guys and what you get up to, but I’d like to sell a few (tasteful, unintrusive) ads and sponsorships on the site — so that TN can support itself and continue to offer the internet’s cat-hairiest advice, fund-raising, and cultural commentary — and in order to do that, I need specifics. It’s not a very long form; you’ll find a couple of fun questions at the end; and you could win an iPod Nano in the color of your choice!
The data you give me will remain anonymous. If you choose to share your name and email address, I won’t sell it to anyone or otherwise bruit it about.
(And if you would like to purchase an ad or sponsorship on TN, email me: bunting at tomatonation dot com.)
Edited 3/1/11 to add: Much as I would like to give away Nanos, I misspoke — I meant Shuffles, which are less pricey, which means I can give away more of them. I hope nobody feels misled; sorry for the confusion/senility.
Ready? Let’s dance!

I’ve just realised I’ve been reading over 10 years (since I was 15, no less) and have never before commented. That’s some impressive inertia, there.
Ah, hells! I just realized my math was faulty and I was a 10+er, too! Dang it, math hates me.
I too, marked “4-10” but I am clearly 10 plus. I was promised there would be no math.
I started at TWoP, and didn’t come over here until the The Founders up and left. I didn’t want to lose that connection with the folks who had brought me so much enjoyment at what was (once upon a time) my favorite web site in the known universe. (Now, not so much. *sigh*)
I remember (n00b that I was) feeling almost embarrassed to look up your blogs, as if I were invading your privacy in some weird way. In my mind, TWoP was your work, and your blogs were your after-work stuff, so it felt as if I were following you guys home after 5 o’clock. (Yeah I know, your blogs are on the interwebs, so how “private” could they be, right?)
I’m glad I did. I now follow a whole slew of blogs from a wide variety of people and no longer feel quite so stalkery. I listen to podcasts, follow on Twitter, and generally have a more well-rounded internet experience than before. Because an article here leads me to a blog there, which leads me to this podcast, then that podcast, which leads me to a book, etc etc.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, the 40+ Club is meeting at Denny’s for the 4 o’clock special. Creamed corn, y’all! (My lawn. Get off it.)
